The leader of Peterborough City Council, Cllr Marco Cereste, joined Peterborough United's chief executive Bob Symns and senior representatives from Kier at the London Road ground to see first-hand the status of the £9.5m project.
The former Moy's End stand, which was demolished last month, will now be replaced by a 2,560 all-seater stand, which will also include a specialist education and skills centre. The grounds are currently being prepared for the construction of the new stand in March.

Cllr Cereste said: "We are on the verge of having a community stadium this city can be really proud of. It was quite a sight seeing the old stand coming down last month, but what will now replace it will be fantastic and a vast difference to what has been there since the early 1950s. I am delighted to be able to mark the start of the transformation of the football ground into an all-seater stadium and the creation of a skills centre. I can’t wait to see it completed.
"The skills centre is vitally important as it will ensure our young people are highly skilled when leaving education and starting work, giving us a better skilled workforce and our young people the best possible start in life."
